If you see the applet you like, but the source code is not provided,
you can almost always decompile it and make it work with just little extra
work. Even if it was obfuscated somehow (names substituted by meaningless
id-s).

There are many decompilers. You can start with Jad:
- http://kpdus.tripod.com/jad.html#download
- Jad - the fast JAva Decompiler
Download it, unzip, place in the path - and you can use it from DOS
prompt in any directory.

Another good Decompiler is a Java decompiler from SourceTec (formerly
named Jasmine Java Decompiler - a patch to Mocha,
the well known Java decompiler).
